A system and method for donning and labeling a body cast provides a protective body cast that is labeled. The system and method provides a protective body cast that forms padded protection around the body of a bedridden patient; and especially around the hip, buttock, and lower extremity pressure points. The body cast is composed of a nanomaterial and serves as an envelope for an inner lining of a softer material such as a composite foam rubber. The body cast is sectioned into a multi-layered enclosing cloth support wrap that is fabricated from a nanomaterial, an inner surface having padding, and at least one auxiliary padding that detachably attaches to the body cast for additional padding. Labels detachably attach to the lower portion of the support wrap for indicating information pertinent to the patient. A caregiver accesses the label to read and mark directly on a bedridden patient.

Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to non-sticky, adhesive-free wraps. Wraps disclosed in this application are designed to stick to themselves by implementing a material that comprises fibers on one side and loops on the other. The selected materials have high sheer strength and low breakaway strength, so they are easy to put on and take off and will not fall off accidentally. Wraps of the inventive subject matter additionally include regularly spaced lines that facilitates application of known magnitudes of pressure. By using a key that is tuned to a specific wrap, users can apply a desired amount of pressure to a limb.

A modular kinesiology or physio tape adapted to produce heating or cooling. The tape includes a layer of material having a chamber for retention and release of a removable packet of cooling or heating material and a mechanism for securing the layer directly onto skin of a user. The removable packet of cooling or heating material has dimensions optimized for manual insertion into and removal from the chamber. Preferably, the material is flexible and includes an adhesive for securing the layer to the skin. The material has a first surface for contacting skin, a second surface parallel to the first surface for receiving and retaining the removable packet and an edge between the first and second surfaces. In one embodiment, multiple slits are provided in the second surface having dimensions adapted to receive and retain said packet. In yet another embodiment, a heating packet is implemented with a button/coin type battery circuit with an optional mechanism for controlling the generation of heat thereby.

A medical fixing brace, which is characterized in that it is a mesh-shaped plate provided with several large ventilation openings and injection molded from a shape memory material. On both the front and rear surfaces of each side of the mesh plate in proximity to the transverse edges, several mounting holes used for connecting an engaging fitting apparatus are provided symmetrically along the plate-shape structure, or several mounting holes for connecting an engaging fitting are provided on at least one surface. The thickness of the mesh-shaped plate are thinned at the mounting holes; and, provided within the mounting holes are some parts for mounting the engaging fitting apparatus. The fixing brace has no coating layer, allows with the large hole structure thereof the direct viewing of condition changes, and prevents the occurrence of post-traumatic complications; clamping tightness can be adjusted throughout a treatment, compression on soft tissues is maintained, and fixing effects are great; the fixing brace can be used on either the left or right, operation is simple for a physician. The material used for the fixing brace is nonabsorbent and has no padding structure, dries quickly after shower, provides great comfort, prevents the occurrence of itchiness and dermatitis. This is applicable in externally fixing body parts such as the upper limb, the neck, the chest, the waist, and the lower limb.

The invention provides a shape memory spacer fabric composite, being a spacer fabric coated with a shape memory polymer layer, wherein the spacer fabric comprises a first outer layer, a second outer layer and an intermediate spacing layer connecting the first outer layer and the second outer layer; the shape memory polymer layer is made from at least one block or random copolymer selected from the group consisting of the following: polyesters, polyurethanes, polyamides, polyols; the copolymer has at least one phase transition temperature in a range of 40˜80° C.

The present disclosure relates to a photocurable composition for 3D printing for producing a patient-specific splint or cast. The photocurable composition easily produces a splint or cast conforming to the patient's body shape using 3D printing and makes it possible to adjust the immobilizing force of the splint or cast. In addition, the present disclosure provides a patient-specific splint or cast using a photocurable composition for 3D printing, which may produce a splint or cast, which may provide a necessary degree of compression by adjusting the immobilizing force thereof and is attachable and detectable as needed.
